More Evidence that the Media are Complete Idiots
October 6th, 2005There was this article on Slashdot about how a hoax appeared on some obscure business magazine from the UK claiming that Microsoft had created a play once DVD that wasn’t readable after it was read once. Paul Thurrott of Windows IT Pro magazine, used the story without referencing the source, and a whole slew of media reporters ate the story up quoting Paul. The funny part is that it was a hoax, where even internally at Microsoft were wondering where the hell this news came from. Stupid gullible media. I have this cool bridge in Brooklyn I wanna sell… I’ll sell it to you cheap. (idiots)
